Wayne Cashman (born June 24, 1945) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player and a former NHL head coach. He played 17 seasons for the Boston Bruins, helping the team win two Stanley Cups.
Cashman played his junior hockey as a teammate of Bobby Orr's on the Oshawa Generals of the OHA. He played parts of three seasons in the minor leagues for the Oklahoma City Blazers and the Hershey Bears before making the Bruins' squad for good in 1969.
Cashman played his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins (1964–65, 1967–83). His jersey number was #12.
Cashman was a hard-grinding left winger on the era's most formidable forward line with superstar centre Phil Esposito and right wing Ken Hodge. His role was to get into the corners and battle for loose pucks, feeding them to Esposito or Hodge. Cashman was also a tenacious forechecker and he also served as an enforcer to protect Esposito and Bobby Orr.
Cashman was a member of Stanley Cup winning teams in 1970 and 1972, the latter where he scored twice in the deciding game six against the New York Rangers. He scored 20 goals a season eight times in his career, accomplishing this feat in four straight seasons with 100 or more penalty minutes. His best season was in 1974, when he scored 30 goals and 59 assists to finish fourth in the league in points, played in the All-Star Game, and was named to the NHL Second All-Star team.
